If you ask people to list how many Northern States we have, they say 19.

If you ask them to name the 19 states, they mention Kogi and Kwara.

So why are some people always angry when a northerner from North Central with a different name gets a federal appointment?

Whenever you point out the lopsided nature of Tinubu's appointments, particularly in favor of Yoruba tribe (whether from the SW or North - Kogi and Kwara), they deflect by citing Buhari's precedent. Let me also remind you of this @PremiumTimesng infographic on FPMB appointees.

First of all, let us look at a list of Controller-Generals of the Federal Fire Service from 2014 till date..

▪︎ Engr. Garba Joseph Anebi (2014 to 2019 — Appointed by GEJ and reappointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Benue State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Liman Alhaji Ibrahim (2019 to 2022 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Niger State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Engr. Jaji Olola Abdulganiyu (2022 to 2025 — Appointed by Late President Muhammadu Buhari)
Kwara State, NORTH-CENTRAL

▪︎ Olumode Samuel Adeyemi (Effective From August 2025)
Kogi State, NORTH-CENTRAL.

Keep Dreaming and Deceiving yourself...

Atiku will win Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe states with landslide victories and defeat Jagaban in Borno state if Shettima is dropped as the APC VP candidate...

Atiku will win in majority of the Northern states..

Buhari's 12 million votes now have a new owner...

The North will never betray her own because of that Drug Baron from Irigbaji

Yes, na another one from SW. Oya cry. Pause small. Now cry harder 😭😭

Allwell96:
Are you not aware that Atiku and Aregbesola have resigned from their parties but Obi did not?

LagosOrigin:
I asked again, where did David mark mentioned Peter Obi in your fake news?

Atiku is there you didn't mention his name, aregbesola is there you didn't mention his name but you had to mention Peter Obi because he disgraced tinubu in Lagos in the last presidential election .

Why are you always obsessed with Peter Obi?

LagosOrigin:
Fake news without source

Fake as tinubu credentials

Look at the screenshot the OP posted, there is no where David mark mentioned Obi name

There will be zero tolerance for anti party, you are either in ADC or not in ADC, those who are not totally committed will not be carried along.

Deputy Speaker, Kalu Withdraws Indigeneship Bill For Further Legislative Engagements

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, CFR has withdrawn the indigeneship bill before the parliament for further legislative engagements.

In a statement on Tuesday night, Kalu said that the withdrawal has become necessary in the light of the concerns and constructive feedback received from various stakeholders regarding the bill.

He added that the Bill Analysis Report, forwarded by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) also made it imperative for him to step down the bill at this time.

Although the intention of the bill was to promote national unity, equity, and inclusiveness among all Nigerians, regardless of where they reside, part of the report stated that the State Houses of Assembly should make laws that will make settlers in different states enjoy the same rights and privileges by the indigenes.

"States should make laws that would allow settlers to benefit same rights and privileges enjoyed by indigenes without any form of discrimination as rightly provided for in the constitution.

"Though the Bill seeks to achieve some commendable objectives, however, this can be achieved through enactment of law. If this Bill is passed, it would pose challenges with time especially on the issue of double or multiple indigenship," the report stated.

Kalu who is the also chairman of the Constitution Review Committee of the House said that he is committed to ensuring that every legislative proposal reflects the wishes of the people.

"As leaders and Representatives, we remain committed to ensuring that every legislative proposal reflects the aspirations of the people we serve.

"The Constitution Review process remains an open, inclusive, and participatory exercise, and no provision or proposal will be pursued without adequate dialogue and consensus-building.

"I therefore call on citizens to continue engaging constructively with the House Committee on Constitutional Review as we work together to build a more just, united, and prosperous Nigeria", he said.

Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria
